The People:

The majority of the population live in the coastal areas and the main valleys of much of St. Vincents interior. The population is estimated (1998) to be 119,818, with about a quarter of the people living in the capital, Kingstown and its suburbs, while approximately 8% live within the Grenadine islands. Most of the people are of African decent, with a small percentage of Amerindian/black, European, East Indian and Carib (descent) people.

Their Language:

English is the dominant and official language of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. For everyday use, however, most Vincentians speak a local dialect, called Vincentian English or Vincy English.

Their Religion:

Christianity is an important part of most Vincentians lives. The largest segment of the population is Methodist, followed by other Protestant religions, plus a small Roman Catholic population.
